Kohala is about as far from anywhere as you can get. We're not on the way to anywhere except the Valleys. This is the end of The Road. This is the birthplace of visionary kings and the hideout of madmen poets. The tradewinds can blow the thoughts right out of your head. You can't spit in this town without hitting a musician. Haleakala and the island of Maui loom large on the horizon. Sometimes magic happens.

Surpreendente!

I absolutely loved staying in the Hale Ew/oK! It rained every night but I stayed dry and comfortable here. The shower was warm and I thought the cigarette lighter charger was perfect for charging my phone. I honestly came here to sleep and spent my time adventuring on the big island. There is so many things to do! The host was very kind and I appreciated a great conversation about water conservation. I'd stay here again if I ever come back. 1. Bring your own bedding. 2. There are no outlets, only a cigarette charger to charge your phone. 3. If you love the outdoors and are looking for a little bit more than camping then this is it!

Meridith2015-12-29T00:00:00Z

We spent a single night in there. Good place if you intend to sleep only and explore Kohala.

The property is home to a Natural Farming Demonstration Farm and an agricultural cooperative that grows taro, vegetables, pigs and chickens using Natural Farming methodologies (no chemicals). You can feel free to wander over to feed the pigs and check out the taro farm.
The property is on an agricultural road with quite a few farms. We are only about a mile walk into town, where you can enjoy great shops and restaurants. Grab some organic lettuce or GMO free papaya at one of the farm stands on the road on your way.
It is easy to jump back on the main road for a trip to the ocean—10 minutes if you want to swim at Mahukona or Kapaa or 25 minutes to get to the best beaches on the island.

If you are looking for an intimate place allowing you to connect to yourself and nature, Andrea's place is it. I had an unforgettable experience. In bed I had the feeling I was lying in the middle of nature, hearing and feeling the wind, opening my eyes and looking on trees. Taking a late evening outdoor shower under the stars is simply unique. The lawn was ideal for my morning breathing and yoga practice. I felt home as soon as I arrived. I am full of gratitude and I will definitely come back.

Kathrin2017-05-04T00:00:00Z

Polestar Cabin is cute, comfortable, and clean. We were the second guests to stay at the cabin, so there were still a few kinks to be worked out, however Andrea was more than willing to accommodate us and we have every confidence that those kinks will be fixed. We enjoyed our time at Polestar and felt at home while there. Andrea was off island on business, but she still kept a pulse on how we were doing and was very responsive via text.

Ed was a fabulous host and there for us in every way, from fully supplying our cottage to offering all kinds of helpful advice regarding local food, hikes, beaches and explorations....We really could not have asked for more. Everything was clean, well appointed, well stocked from kitchen to snorkeling gear! The location was perfect, within 2 blocks of small town Hapa'au and short drive to quaint Hawi. When we return to the area we would definitely stay again. PS wonderful small yard full of exotic flowers, avocado, pomelo and passed lovely times cracking macadamia nuts too!

Donna and Kevin are great! We stayed there for only one night but really enjoyed their company and living space. Donna gave us some spot on recommendations for places to go/see AND she upgraded us to the bigger room with ocean views! We paid to have a home cooked dinner and it was fabulous - we ate it with Donna and Kevin on the balcony like old friends, while watching the sunset over maui. We also loved being able to pick fruit from the trees and make fresh juices. It felt like a home away from home. This was splurge for us and it was worth it!

Danny and I were given a personal tour of the cabin and grounds and welcomed with warmth and Aloha

Everything you're looking for in a home away from home: beauty, comfort, cleanliness, convenience, kindness, relaxation. We would highly recommend Donna & Kevin's place to family and friends. Mahalo!

jackie2017-02-14T00:00:00Z

It's difficult for me to provide a useful review as the cabin I rented wasn't available and I was upgraded to a nicer room on the property. I can't very well review the smaller cabin, as I didn't stay in it. However, I did end up with a nicer room, at the small room rate, which was fantastic. I loved my stay here, wonderful tail-end to my vacation. Very calm, quiet, and relaxing up here, without feeling isolated. It's like being on vacation from your vacation. Donna was great, and showed me all sorts of area hikes and sight-seeing locations. Because of Donna's help, I've seen beautiful places on Hawaii that most visitors and even locals never see. A hui hou.

David2016-08-14T00:00:00Z

Donna and Kevin are two incredible human beings! To have the privilege to stay with them on their land is such a treat. For starters, their neighborhood is picturesque in a way that is not quite describable in words. They sit in a quiet neighborhood atop a hill with a beautiful ocean view. They have a big piece of land with beautiful fruit trees, sheep and an incredible dog. They are only minutes from town but once you are on the property it seems you are in the middle of nowhere with complete privacy. The space is perfect, the living area with extremely comfortable bed, small couch and a workspace is perfectly appointed. Lots of towels, washcloths, hangers and even beach towels and a blow dryer! Just steps away is a fully appointed kitchen, equipped with all the cooking supplies you will need, Vitamix, salad spinner, coffee maker, pots and pans, Tupperware, full-size refrigerator, hot plate etc. To top it off, they have a great outdoor shower which is perfect for the climate. This is one of the nicest Airbnb stays we've had. Most importantly, Donna and Kevin are amazing people. They took us on an incredible walk and spent time talking with us and getting to know us. We highly recommend anyone coming to visit this property, no matter how long or short your stay, you won't regret it!

Our Cottage has awesome ocean & sunset views. During whale Season you can actually hear the whales sing and flap there tails. We are walking distance to the ocean and historical walking trails to King Kamehameha's birth site and more. Very private

This place was everything we expected it to be. It was serene, relaxing, just the right amount of isolation and perfectly centered for the island experience we wanted. The views were amazing and the sound of the rain while falling asleep were lulling. The only apprehension to those unprepared is that this cottage can feel a bit exposed to the elements at times and gets outside visitors (e.g. geckos and other little island life). I personally love the outdoors so this was not an issue for me, but it is something to be considered.

Cute funky cottage exceptionally well located in North Kohala. 20 minute drive to Kawaihae for diving and canoeing, and a bit past that are historical sites and beautiful beaches. In the other direction is Waimea with restaurants, shopping, and cultural activities. And in the other other direction are adventure tours out of Hāwī, plus the verdant Pololū Valley. The cottage has a great view of Maui and ocean sunsets, a perfect-temperature outdoor shower, and is in earshot of the ocean. Snorkeling, King Kamehameha's birthplace, and the haunting Mo'okini Heiau are a pleasant walk away. Linda is a warm host, and will gladly help you enjoy your North Kohala adventures. Don't pass up a chance to stay here.

Laura2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

A Whale Crossing is magical, comfortable and a vacation from a vacation. We hope to return.

This has been our first trip to the Big Island. After having stayed in Maile’s cottage, we can’t think of any nicer accommodation. We’ve had the pleasure to stay here for three nights in early June and explore the northern parts of the island. The Waimea region and especially the area around the highway 250 when going north is just breathtaking, with all the farms and the lush scenery. Maile’s place is very secluded, but just a couple of driving minutes away from Waimea and also Hapuna Beach. Thanks to the clear directions provided by Maile beforehand, we had no problem at all finding the place when checking in at 9 p.m. in the dark (it is a 45 min. drive from Kona airport). The cottage was very tidy, the kitchen well equipped, and I can’t remember the last time I could enjoy such a quietness at night. The view from the balcony was even better in reality than one could expect when seeing the pictures, we just loved watching the stars at night. Thanks to the altitude, the cooler temperature at night allowed for a good night’s sleep after spending lots of sunny hours during the day hiking or on the beaches. Maile was very helpful right from the time we booked our trip. While we did not get to meet her in person during our stay, she was very kind and checked on us through texting asking if we needed any help and was always available via email/phone/ texting. If we ever return to Hawaii, we will definitely want to stay at her place again.

We had a great time and really appreciated Maile's ohana spirit towards us. Cottage had a great view and with perfect temperatures during the day. Cottage was near some great sites: pololu valley and waipio valley. Definitely will stay here again!

Sometimes there are a multitude of waterfalls seen cascading down 1000' cliffs into the sea. Gaze at lush greenery, frequent rainbows, especially during the wet season (Winter/Spring). Epic views face 23 miles of these 1000' cliffs, backed up by undeveloped jungle. Whales jumping and breaching can be seen from the property during the winter/spring. Maui is visible on clear days.

Drive to Hawaiian cowboy country in Waimea and you may smell eucalyptus on your way to the cooler climate in Waimea (Kamuela). Here there is more shopping,fast food chains, a bigger hospital and some of the best food in the islands is here (only 30 minutes away).Several restaurants to choose from Go to Merriman's for the best seafood and Kailua pork quesadillas.
Drive over to the white sand beaches about 35minutes from Waimea, the 5 star hotels and high end shopping of the west coast.
Otherwise drive east along the lush Hamakua coast, see Akaka falls, the world famous botanical gardens, Hilo, Volcanoes National park, Natural hot springs in Pahoa. Take the saddle road between Hilo and Waimea and drive to the 14,000 top of Mauna Kea along the way (many countries have their space observatories there). Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world from the sea floor.
Visit Kona and see if you think the preferred coffee of the white house is really as good as the lesser locally known rich tasting Hamakua coast coffee. Hale Kukui grows small amounts of its own and while we don't dry and roast it, you are welcome to try.
Hilo has a great outdoor market, shopping, surfing, etc. and it is a beautiful 1 hour drive along the Hamakua coast. Another hour or so beyond is the must see Volcanoes National Park and swim in the hot springs in Pahoa.. Kona is about 1.5 hours away along very nice highways as are most places.
The whole island has so much to offer but you will definitely want to relax at Hale Kukui for its incredible views and natural private surroundings. Each cottage has its own kitchen/kitchenette, internet and full bathroom.

My family and I stayed here for a small wedding. This place has a gorgeous view. It's very secluded. Host Paula is very helpful. I didn't have a wedding planner. Paula was coordinating with some of my vendors. It made the process much easier for us.

2 BDR on ocean, orchard above beach ------ To arrive at the house was a disappointment, the house was not clean, the pictures there displayed on Airbnb are taken for many years ago, there are pictures taken from 3 different houses and the great view is only from the private residence. I have lost (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN)USD on this trade. Apart from that we had to go out and find something else to stay in this cost also extra money and time. ------ At ankomme til huset var en skuffelse, huset var ikke rent, billederne som bliver vist på Airbnb er taget for mange år siden, der er taget billeder fra 3 forskellige huse og den gode udsigt er kun fra privaten. Jeg har tabt i alt (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN)USD på denne handel. Foruden at vi skulle ud og finde noget andet at bo i det kostede også ekstra. Jesper Bay Hebsgaard

The best view I've ever woken up to! I love Waipio! The place was nice. Kitchen is tiny for 2 people preparing a meal, but has everything you need. The orchard was great along with its views! Ate mangoes everyday - yah! Even got fresh coconut and watched it being cut down! Loved the night music! Only little issue is the place gets a bit warm with the afternoon sun, but the view is worth it!

Phioanh2017-06-28T00:00:00Z

Amazing property and location. Keep in mind the cottage is pretty far out of the way so you will be making frequent trips into town unless you bring your food with your from the market. Amazing hiking in the area!

Lovely place, oasis in a special stretch of the coast. Amazing views, and close to a cafe, a restaurant, and a 15 minute drive from a town. Very accommodating and friendly hosts. We had a friend traveling with us who had a mishap and the hosts helped us sort it out. We loved our stay and hope to come back.

This house is beautiful and the view is unreal. We walked down to the Waipo Valley from the house and relaxed on the gorgeous black sand beach. It was a very comfortable place for our family. It very warm in the house during the day, but it cooled off at night. Filling up the tub on the porch with cool water helped us out. The view from the tub was incredible. Dan greeted us warmly when we arrived. He left fresh fruit for us on the table and when we mentioned our love for lychees, he brought some more over for us. The fresh fruit was all delicious, and I enjoyed walking through the orchard and matching the exotic fruit with its tree. This was our final stay on our vacation, and it was a great place to relax.

Bamboo Beach Cottage
Tropical Cottage across from Paniau Beach Park near the Mauna Lani Resort area.
Please note, this vacation rental does not accommodate more than 4 persons. Nightly Rates/Quotes/Bookings INCLUDE applicable taxes.

Bamboo Cottage is great for adventure seekers and lanai loungers. This double story 2 bedroom 3 bath home feels like true island style living. Directly across the street from the famous surf spot of Paniau Beach, Hawaii. Only a short walk to the Mauna Lani and Fairmont Orchid Resorts as well as ancient petroglyph fields. Surfing, stand up paddle boarding, boogie boarding, kayaking, all in this area.
"The house is fantastic, and great snorkeling right outside if out door." from a recent guest
Puako Beach is a charming beach community nestled between the Mauna Lani Resort and Hapuna Beach on the Kohala Coast of the Big Island. Puako is still the only ocean front residential community along the Gold Coast/Kohala Coast of the Big Island nestled between the Mauna Lani Resort, Fairmont Orchid and Mauna Kea/Hapuna Resorts.
Hapuna Beach State Park, just a few minutes drive from here, has earned the reputation of being one of Hawaii Island`s finest beaches. It is the largest White Sands Beach on The Big Island and consistently rates on Top Ten lists internationally. Hapuna Beach offers some wonderful opportunities for swimming, bodysurfing, bodyboarding, sunbathing and snorkeling and is just a mile from Puako. You can even drive the back road to Hapuna Beach and not get on the Highway. Local shore fisherman can be seen daily enjoying the great reef fishing.
Puako Beach Drive has no thorough thru access which keeps it virtually still undiscovered by many. Original beach shacks next to stately homes as well as charming beach cottages that some owner`s have preserved. There are homes along the ocean side as well as across the street from the ocean. There are six separate `beach` accesses along this stretch of beach. Although there is not a tremendous amount of sand, there are tide pools and the extensive protected reef is remarkable. During low tide, small pools dot the entire coastline and these pools are filled with small sea life that make excellent areas to explore for all ages. If you enjoy shore diving, kayaking and snorkeling you can find a spot along this stretch of shoreline to enter the water. Offshore the reef is home to a wide variety of fish and many days you will see dolphins playing right from the shore. Enjoy the Whales who return each year to mate and give birth in the tropical warm waters during the winter months.
Puako is a place of activity and rejuvenation. There is so much to do or nothing at all. Sunsets are celebrated by most who live and visit Puako every evening.
The views of Mauna Kea Mountain will take your breath away when you turn around to the East on a clear day. In the winter months you might have the opportunity to sit at the beach and see snow not the mountain.

Along the Kohala Coast, the Puako Petroglyph Archaeological Preserve features more than a thousand petroglyphs, or kii pohaku, lava rock carvings etched into stone centuries ago by Native Hawaiians. Although the true meanings of the petroglyphs are unknown, it is generally thought these carvings are records of births and other significant events in the lives of the people who lived on Hawaii Island long ago.
Just a short walk to the Fairmont Orchid Hotel, Holoholokai Beach (a well manicured beach-park with facilities) and the Mauna Lani Resort, or from the South end of Puako, start at Paniau Beach and walk along the coast to the Petroglyphs and you can see the carvings of human forms, canoes, turtles and others in the captivating petroglyphs fields of Puako. Take the kids on a petroglyph hunt and ask them what they think these ancient symbols could mean. On a full moon some of has have been known to walk to the petroglyph field from the South end of Puako where the lava is so lit up from the moon that we haven`t needed a flashlight. It`s been said that the ancient Hawiians walked at night as it was cooler.
Hapuna Beach offers some wonderful opportunities for swimming during calm seas offering crystal clear water and beautiful scenery, bodysurfing, bodyboarding during periods of high surf with waves reaching 3 feet high for experts! During these high surf times there are dangerous rip currents and pounding shore breaks so those not familiar should stay out of the water. There are Lifeguard services. Sunbathing (and looking at all of the sunbathers) with limited shade, so if it`s not windy, umbrellas can be seen lining the beach. Snorkeling is a favorite activity at Hapuna Beach and is just a mile from Puako. You can even drive the back road to Hapuna Beach and not get on the Highway. It is located off Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway (Highway 19, 2.3 miles south of Kawaihae Harbor and is open daily during daylight hours. There is a coastal trail called Ala Kahakai Trail that goes from Kawaihae-Anaehoomalu mostly along the coast. 61.8 acres with restrooms, picnic pavilions, picnic tables, showers, trash cans, drinking water, and lifeguard services and lots of parking. In recent years there has been a beach hut cafe to purchased food.

Great place to stay; highly recommended! 5 minute walk on the beach to Fairmont Orchid hotel. Can truly live like a Hawaiian in this space/area!

The cottage is perfect! It's across the road from the ocean in a very chill part of the island. The caretaker took such good care of us! She helped with suggestions and even found a coconut for my mom who was desperately looking for one. Thank you for such a great stay! We hope yo visit again.

This quaint beach cottage is in a truly magical location and any "funkiness" is quickly over-ruled by it's incredible location and ease of inhabiting. The downstairs 2 bedrooms are just fine but could use better/more lighting and we did not care for the TV's but rather wished those TV tables could host our suitcases. We quickly got used to the 2 levels and locking up one to access the other situation. The upstairs kitchen/livingroom area is more than adequate, super comfortable with lovely furnishings, and has a very lovely lania for outdoor dining with a glance at the ocean. The kitchen is well stocked and we so appreciated the pantry that accumulated past resident's fine provisions. The caretaker (Sheila) who lives next door is so incredibly helpful and friendly and made us feel quite welcomed. The location really can't be beat. There is a wonderful shoreline access just across the street with such an easy access into the ocean for great snorkeling. Just 2 miles away is what we believe to be the BEST beach on the island. This is a lovely place to stay on one of the most revered spots on the island!

Cute and cozy cedar cabin all to yourself. Celebrating Waimea's paniolo history and lifestyle, the cabin is decorated paniolo (cowboy) style. Enjoy privacy surrounded by lush, tropical vegetation. Breath in the tropical ginger flowers and night blooming jasmine scent that wafts in through the windows with the cool mountain air. Completely self contained with comfortable furniture, new bed and well-stocked kitchen. The feeling of old Waimea surrounds you in this well-appointed cedar cabin.

This paniolo cabin is located in a friendly residential neighborhood. I live on the property, but the cabin is completely separate from my home and is very private.

This unique log cabin is tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood. Easy access to beaches, Waimea town, Kona or Hilo - come home to cool and green Waimea.
Beach chairs and beach towels for your stay.
I've lived in Hawaii my whole life and am happy to recommend the best places to see, things to do and places to eat! From hot, sunny beaches to tropical rain forests, an active volcano and world class telescopes atop Mauna Kea - Hawaii Island has it all. (If you are heading up to Volcano during your Big Island visit - please check out my other Airbnb listing - Crater Heights, within walking distance to the National Park)
Waimea is nestled between Mauna Kea and the Kohala Mountains and sits at about 2800 ft elevation. So it can get chilly at night - it's always good to have a light jacket in the car.
As you may have heard, public transportation is limited on the Big Island. I highly recommend having your own car while you are here. It is the best way to experience our beautiful island.
Your kitchen is well stocked with essentials for your stay. I provide coffee, tea and seasonal light breakfast items for your first day.

Secluded cottage tucked in the Eucalyptus forest surrounded by pastures with a beautiful ocean view. Only a few miles from honokaa town and right down the street from kalopa state park. This cottage is solar/generator powered & has all the amenities you need! The tempurpedic bed is a plus!

This is a private lot, but only a couple minute drive off of the highway. The main road is pavement. The drive is gravel, short, & easy for any car.

We had an amazing night at Markus'. We even got a tour around the house which we very much enjoyed! Thank you so much

Anouk2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

Markus was great, very hospitable. He had some good pointers for local attractions and food. The setting is nice... we even saw a few wild boars! The cost is quite high for what amounts to a night in a tent with a shower in the morning, but we knew that before we booked. Until the rain and wind picked up in the early morning it was hot and stuffy, making sleeping difficult. Being rather tall (6'3"), the tent was also too small for me. With a few refinements, we would be happy to stay there again.

Beautiful location, easy to find. A very comfortable tent. My husband and eighteenth-month old son slept like babies, soothed by the lovely night rainforest sounds. Just a short hop to Hana Bay. A great place!

Katherine2017-03-13T00:00:00Z

I loved staying here and enjoyed the most peaceful night's rest of my life. The will do and the breeze with the rain on the tin roof was for me, heavenly. The sleeping mat and like end were clean and comfortable and I had no issues with mosquitoes. The open air shower amongst the lush trees was an experience I'll never forget. No hot water but it was cool and refreshing. Markus is kind and helpful. I can't recommend this enough. Close to everything. Just make sure if you get there late the only place to eat is the Ranch restaurant and they close at 830, food was meh. I would have preferred to try one of the food trucks but didn't plan well and they close by 4-5.

It has it's own private little corner of the property, complete with secluded hot tub, yard and large lanai perfect for the bbq! Best for 2-3 adults. Loft can suit a child or two 8 years and older or another adult. There is a fold out futon with extra bedding and pillows. Loft railing is not completely protected for children under 8.

Cozy and private cabin set off in the Kaloko woods above Kailua Kona town. Set on 5 acres, this 600 square foot cabin comes equipped with everything you should need for a Hawaiian vacation! Large studio with queen bed, bathroom, full kitchen, large lanai with gas grill and even a washer/dryer on the side of the cabin. There is a fireplace and a wall heater for cold evenings and a double fold out bed in the small loft up above; perfect for another adult or 2 children. Owner's home is also on property but set 300 feet away through the trees. This property borders the Ooma Trail which is 1500 acres of native state land. This creates a wonderful ambiance for your getaway!
The rustic cabin is decorated with a country/cowboy decor depicting old Hawaiian Paniolo days. The large lanai (deck) out front is perfect for late afternoon cocktail/bbq time! There is also an additional uncovered deck area great for reading and listening to the native birds. Enjoy a visit from some of our dogs and cats or take a walk to the hiking trail and Mountain Thunder Coffee farm just up the street from us. For larger parties, inquire with us about another 1 bedroom cottage located on the property.

Fabulous, somewhat rustic cabin, up above Kona in the cooler air, which is very welcome after a day in the sun. All the comforts of home and a great value! Convenient to airport, and all the shops and restaurants of Kona. Scott and Caroline are great, you don't even know they are on the same property, but they are available for anything you need. They welcomed us into their home for the Mayweather/McGregor fight like we were part of the family! The grounds are fabulous! They rival some of the nicest resorts we've been to! The hot tub is super private and a great way to end the day looking at the moon/stars. Truly a great place, we would recommend to anyone without hesitation! Say hello to our "chicken friends", they love a good potato chip!

Chris2017-09-02T00:00:00Z

My husband and I had the best experience ever!! We arrived late on Thanksgiving day tired and hungry from a full day of traveling. When we arrived Scott and Caroline came out to greet us and even asked if we wanted to join them by the fire. We were too tired, so we went to the cabin and they so generously provided a complete thanksgiving meal for us. Words can't thank them enough. When we got to the cabin...... its even nicer and better than the pics. They are way too modest about what they have to offer. Also anything that you could think of needing for your Hawaii vacation is there, ie cooler, beach towels, beach chairs, boogie board etc. Also the cabin is fully equipped for cooking. It is set back from the main road and also from Scott and Caroline's house too. You have complete privacy to sit out on the deck and BBQ and/or sit on the other deck in the fern grove adjacent to the house. It is a very quiet and peaceful place. This is a five star place hands down. My husband and I hope to come back here many times in the future.

Scott and Caroline were very welcoming - letting us enter early (because there wasn't a guest leaving that day) and checking in to see if there was anything we needed. They let us know about great things to see and do in the area. They also let us use their gear for ocean fun - very nice! Relaxing in the hot tub, morning or night, listening to wildlife and gazing at the forest - magic. Its a small cabin, so early risers will disturb the late, but that's obvious from the description. We especially appreciated being shown the chameleons.

David2016-07-22T00:00:00Z

We had a nice stay at the Carson's cosy and rusty cabin 'in the woods'. It was clean, and everything was there to please us. Even a bunch of fresh flowers ware prepared for us upon the arrival. Scott welcomed us, he's a nice host. We didn't meet Caroline and didn't have much time to talk to Scott 'cause of Thanksgiving. They had guests and soon left all for the mainland to celebrate. We had a bit of bad luck concerning the weather. It rained every day, and the spot the cabin is located was foggy most of the time at its 1000ft altitude. Although, a place we recommend!

Nick was a really nice host, communication with him was super and he was really generous with us. The house is clean and charming, we were 4 and we had enough space for everything!

Maxime2017-06-07T00:00:00Z

A beautiful tiny house on the slopes of Mauna Kea, an experience not to be missed.

Greg2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

It was the perfect stay! Nick met us at the intersection of the highway and we followed him to the tiny house which sits beautifully on a hill. The house itself is more spacious inside, just because Nick thought of every little detail when building it (yes, he built it himself). There is a stove and oven, a TV with dvds and extra table space that folds out. The loft is really comfortable and there is a nice breeze going through the house. Nick was the perfect host, explaining the house in all its details and taking a lot of time to give us tips for our visit.

The peace and quiet and beautiful tropical surroundings are spectacular! The tiny house is very efficient, with a comfortable bed and view of a vast gulch out the french doors. Everything you need is there to cook meals and have a comfortable stay-close to a native forest park, beautiful beaches, and Waipio valley. Nick and Yan are very committed to the care and beauty of their land and home and very helpful and friendly.

This place is exceptional on all aspects. It is quiet and beautiful, full of the aloha spirit. Our hosts Nick and Yan were very attentive to our needs, while being extremely discreet and respectful of our privacy. It is well located between Hilo and Kohala coast, it is green and peaceful. The house is small but so comfortable. Sleeping there is a real pleasure. We recommend this place with no reservations. Thanks Nick and Yan!

Sylvain2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

Amazing view! Very secluded, tucked into a beautiful corner of Hawaii. Hosts were so amazing, and flexible. We got a little lost on the way in (and it was night time too!) because we didn't read the actual directions by the host. (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) is not going to get you there to the house but gets you close. (Not the greatest signal for AT&T on the way up, but you have service once you are there) Just make sure you pre-read directions from Nick! The actual cabin is beautiful and feels much bigger than it actually is. Would recommend 100%!!!!!

Hale Iolani is close to the airport (about 15 minutes) and Kailua-Kona town (also about 15 minutes), yet feels very remote. Located on a 6 acre parcel in the rainforest at the 2600' elevation. Four-wheel drive vehicle is required to get up the 1000' driveway. This is an incredible getaway for anyone seeking the beauty of nature and a quiet space.

Hale Iolani (Home of the Heavenly Hawk) features a bedroom equipped with the essentials of glamping (glamour camping), including a queen sized bed and daybed (in case such accommodation is required). The bedroom is a very spacious canvas wall-tent constructed on top of a raised deck. Entry to the bedroom is through a sliding-glass door from the dining room/kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with a gas cooktop and refrigerator. Solar lights brighten the open floor plan of the kitchen and living space during the nights on Hualalai. A bathroom features a toilet and sink and is detached from the charming shower and bath tub which are open aired and private, paved underfoot with lava rock floor with the sun and stars and native ohia trees above. Wi-fi is complimentary, allowing for connection with the outside world.

Above the beaches and bustle of Kona town, Kaloko Mauka provides a cool rainforest escape from the Hawaiian heat. Just 15 minutes to the beaches or the town of Kailua Kona. Hualalai mountain provides fascinating plant diversity, from giant tree ferns to the majestic Ohia trees, as well as exceptional examples of a landscape created by lava. Hale ‘Iolani is a hand-built product of love for the land. Preservation, stewardship, and conservation are the owners fundamental goals for this forest reserve which they have spent years dreaming of, and years creating.
There are several hiking trails in the Kaloko area, within minutes of Hale Iolani.
